In reply to Sarah Swann. Yeah I was so worried about the driver. He was young and really nice. He kept singing that hiphop song that goes "work hard, play hard, work hard.. play hard.. " hahaha

I thought you would have featured in this … http://www.outlookindia.com/article/No-Such-Thing-As-Ghar-Wapasi/293192

Interesting to see so many foreigners make India their home and enjoying their stay despite some day to day hardships.

Aughhhhh. Sometimes these little “India moments” can be so frustrating I want to scream, but I know it won’t do any good! Better to be able to just take things in stride and poke a little fun at them like you do :) glad your driver didn’t get in any trouble!

i got to see something like this about three years back…the lady in front car got in fight with the guy in the back. now, how do you hit a woman?.well u don’t. So he distracted her while his partner took off with her car keys leaving her stranded in the middle of the road..cars from behind would honk honk honk till a lane opened and traffic moved. i dnt know how long the lady was stranded there. we left as soon as lane opened. Damn funny..

hahaha- this reminds me of when I lived in Zambia. My dad used to refuse to pay bribes and just go sit in prison for an hour or so until my the police got worried and let him go. People ALL stop in china when there is an accident and give their opinion about who’s fault it was and who should pay….

scary..i was in goa in 2012..to renew my driving licence and I was driving a car which I had taken on rent for two days from a rent a car shop near dona paula junction..
I was driving very slowly,and the car in front of me,took a left turn and I almost stopped ..and the car behind me hit my car..the locals who gathered were trying to say its my fault,as I had the right turn signal on..i had put it on,as I was trying to overtake the car in front of me for a few minutes..
the police came and luckily sorted out the issue..but I had to pay rs.2000 to a mechanic in vasco to repair the dent in the car.. I was going back to Bombay the next day,so I was lucky that the matter got sorted out,as I never pay a bribe,so it is always more difficult for me.. I also went to the police station in verna,i think and gave him some sweets,for dealing with the locals and helping me to get out of the situation quickly..
